London: Claiming that Pakistan would not try to match India's nuclear weapons development, President Pervez Musharraf has said in the next few weeks Islamabad would test-fire its 'Shaheen II', a missile with a range of 2,000 kms.

"We are not interested in competing with India," Musharraf said in an interview to a British daily.

"If they want to reach 5,000 km or have intercontinental ballistic missiles, we are not interested in those. We are only interested in our own defence," he said in an interview published in the 'Financial Times' today (Feb 18, 2004).
